Ian Mosley

Born : 16-JUN-53 in Paddington, North London, England

From: The Script "An illustrated biography" by Clive Gifford:

He joined the Marillion team originally for the duration of recording
the second album but, as history shows, he stayed, becoming the all important
fifth member and indeed, the fifth drummer to occupy the drum stool.
Ian's session career had propelled him to the heights of his profession.
He's worked with everyone from Alvin Stardust to Stevie Wonder, played in
West End shows ('Hair' and 'Jesus Chris Superstar') and performed on hundreds
of radio and TV jingles. In addition he has toured as a member of one or
several members of the band, including Curved Air, The Gordon Giltrap Band
and The Steve Hackett Band.
